In this season of A.V. Cocktail Club, Chicago bartender Laura Kelton offers tips on making classic cocktails. The key to an ideal pineapple daiquiri, Kelton says, is to source the freshest, highest-quality pineapple juice you can get your hands on. If you can juice the fruit yourself at home, even better.
Pineapple Daiquiri
2 oz. white rum
0.75 oz. lime juice
0.75 oz. simple syrup (1:1 sugar-to-water)
0.75 oz. fresh pineapple juice
Add ingredients to shaker tin. Add ice and shake vigorously. Strain into coupe glass, then add a lime wheel to garnish.
